Drill Bit Art-Pol AR48216 SDS+ 16 mm for Concrete

Drill Bit Art-Pol AR48216 SDS+ 16 mm for Concrete is a rotary hammer accessory designed for use with SDS+ chucks. Intended specifically for drilling holes in concrete and masonry, this 16 mm diameter bit provides stable engagement in SDS+ holders and consistent drilling performance for anchor, dowel and conduit installations. It is suitable for professional tradespeople and DIY users who require reliable 16 mm holes in hard substrates.

Advantages

The SDS+ 16 mm design ensures secure bit retention and efficient power transfer from the rotary hammer to the cutting head, reducing slipping and wobble. The cutting tip geometry and flute profile are engineered for controlled dust removal and sustained drilling progress in concrete and masonry. The bit’s hardened construction increases wear resistance and extends service life under repeated use.

Suitable for

• Drilling 16 mm holes in concrete for mechanical anchors and chemical anchors
• Creating passages for electrical conduit and plumbing in masonry walls
• Installing dowels, bolts and fixings in reinforced and unreinforced concrete
• Professional construction, renovation and heavy-duty DIY projects

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS+ compatible
• Drill diameter: 16 mm
• Intended materials: concrete and masonry
• Application: rotary hammer drilling for anchors, dowels and conduit
• Construction: hardened steel body with precision tip and spiral flute for dust evacuation

How to use

Fit the drill bit into an SDS+ chuck until it locks securely. Select a suitable rotary hammer mode (hammer drilling) and set the appropriate speed and impact settings recommended by the tool manufacturer for 16 mm masonry drilling. Position the bit perpendicular to the work surface, start at low speed to establish the pilot hole, then apply steady pressure while maintaining alignment. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris and allow the flute to evacuate dust for consistent cutting.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, dust mask, hearing protection and gloves). Use a depth stop or tape marker if consistent hole depth is required. Allow the bit to cool during extended drilling to prevent overheating and premature wear. Match drill settings and feed pressure to the substrate to avoid overloading the bit or the tool.
